Here is a list of things that truly work, according to an unscientific survey of the Lancôme P.R. department:
1. Spanx
2. Band-Aid Blister Block
3. Static Guard
4. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
5. Tide to Go pens
6. Swiffer cloths
You can add our new Génifique eye cream to that list. Erin and I decided to road test the new potion--but just under one eye. The results were pretty impressive. In just one week, you could tell which eyes we were using it under. It's a fantastic gel-like formula that actually works on dark circles and brightens your under-eye area. You might even need less concealer. And it's good for a variety of ages. I'm using it, but so is our intern Madeline, who at 22 years of age is slightly more fresh faced than I am.
It's also great for guys, especially those with dark circles who wouldn't use concealer in a million years. Plus, the packaging is really unisex for those sensitive about such things.
We're giving away a jar of Génifique eye cream. Just tell us one thing that you think really really works and we'll pick one post at random. Please post by Sunday night. Good luck!

Ageless Minerale with White Sapphire Complex works wonders! Really gives my skin a very smooth (and flawless!)appearance.
Rubbing alcohol removes pen from clothing.
I've been through numerous tubes and jars of eye cream but I haven't found anything that works yet. I would love to be choosen as a winner for this giveaway to see if the Genifique eye cream "really really works". Thanks

Neosporin on newly popped pimples! It prevents scarring and it helps heal the inflamed skin!
P.S. Shout wipes too removes splashes and spills on clothing really really work for me.
My steam mop. It is the best, cleans up everything and doesn't leave a film like most cleaners.
I can't think of anything else right now but yeast! (I wonder if this is the correct English word) Although it's for baking purposes you can eat it (I dislike the taste tho) or put on pimples. It makes miracles! Helps skin remain smooth and young^^ Does better than many-many over priced beauty items....Definitely a must try!
Vaseline heals dry skin!
What truly works for me is the Shiseido mascara base. It works wonders.
eye drops instead of water or other mysterious solutions to turn your powder shadows into awesome liners
Hydrogen peroxide to get fresh blood out of fabric.
mmm... Sculpturale works!! It really does if you apply it every day and do the massage!! I love it!
It's good to know that Genifique Eye can be applied at any age... The activator was really too much for me when I tried... My mum loved it, but personally at 25 I felt "I don't need this, yet" I'm so gonna test the eye treatment next time I visit my SA at the Lancôme Counter!

Shout Color Catchers. They have saved many a load of laundry from ruin.
a freezing cold spoon really works

aspirin face masks for blemishes really does help.
Definitely the Cetaphil cleanser & moisturizer - it's better than La Mer in that the Cetaphil products are miraculously healing! They clear up your skin whenever you have a bad skin day!
WD-40, Aqua-Net, and Bleach
I'm trying out Lancome's 2 week trial of the Primordiale Skin Rechard Misturizing Cream. It really, really works! After a week, I noticed my skin beaming with a healthy glow. It's bouncy, tight & really smooth!!

My puppy dog! Always brings a smile to my face.
Downy Wrinkle Releaser &
Mighty Mendit (for fixing pants hems)
Travel with a trial size of each, and perhaps a Tide pen mentioned above, and you can fix pretty much any problem your suit can throw at you, on the fly!
Cetaphil anti-bacterial bar is the only cleanser that really helps clear up blemishes for me. It works better than any of the bazillion cleansers (both expensive and cheap) that I've tried over the years, without overly drying my skin.
Kerry, I agree with you: Spanx! Even we can't get the original here -we use alikes, a lot of people and magazines tell that actually does wonders. I hope that one day I can get mine.
Greetinga.
TT.
PS.- Something natural an great to: water! :D Just think on a hot day and big and cold glass of water hehehe.

The smell of Lavender really works to help you sleep. I put a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil in a spray bottle with water and spray my sheets and pillow case lightly before I go to sleep. The smell really helps me to breathe deeper which relaxes me and I drift off to sleep :)
Fast dry top coats. They work and they changed my nail polish loving life.
A slice of fresh ginger:
- In a cup of hot water to soothe an upset stomach or
- In chicken soup to unblock a stuffy nose and help you recover from a cold
I agree with Gaby: Vaseline does wonders! I'm actually addicted to it and can't live without some in my lips at all times.
And like Marie, from Cremitas y Maquillajes, I'm glad to read that it can be used in your 20s. Normal eye creams don't seem to do much for me, but I think I'm young to start using antiaging ones. I'd love to try Génifique!
Interesting tip with the yeast thing. I don't know if I'll be brave enough to actually try it!
Anyway, I've been using LashFood for a few months now and I can say it really works! My lashes are growing longer and their glossier and more healthy looking!

When in need, toilet seat covers are amazing oil blotters! Seriously, try it!

The Dyson vacuum cleaner really works! The carpets are so clean and it is so easy to use. It's expensive, but worth every penny.
makeup and eyeshadow primers. They are a must if you want that smudgeproof makeup! I use a primer anytime I am going to be out for a while and my makeup still looks great when I get home!
Vinegar & Lemon Juice for cleaning. Lemon juice also works for removing streaks from self-tanners!
I gotta second the Magic Eraser. That sponge will take off anything my kids try to smear on my walls!!
My Notebook which connect the world...
Foot petals really work to prevent your feet from sliding out of sandals.

Seche Vitae top coat. I can paint my nails and go to sleep without worry about the lines from sheets on my nails when I get up in the morning. Plus it dries your nails super fast. Best ever.
Pure Aloe Vera Gel relieves 1st Degree burns better than anything else. I have used it and it soothes more than anything else I've tried.I even used it once on a 2nd Degree hand burn and I don't have any sign of a burn( no scars ).
I also have to agree with several people who have mentioned Vaseline it really works wonders on chapped skin.
Vaseline vaseline vaseline!
Lancome Eight Hour Cream = Perfect
A solution of half water, half ammonia really works to clean jewelry (I was told by a jeweler that is what's in the cleaners you buy in the little tubs). Don't use it on pearls or opals, though!
papaya as an enzyme mask! according to my completely unscientific research that is. enzyme masks are supposed to make your skin look amazing and repair some flaws and i really think it works. i always feel like my skin looks 100% after my natural papaya mask routine and my pores look so small!

oooh! i would so love to try this cream- i just got a first wrinkle under my eye, and i need to get rid of it, pronto!
Things that work for me (and maybe other people)- Monistat Anti-Chafing cream as a facial primer, Aspirin mask to get rid of pimples, Sebastian Whipped Cream for silky hair, Lavender oils to fall asleep, Purple eyeshadow for Green eyes creates amazingly dramatic look :)
the clarisonic really works. it literally saved my face from being ridden with acne scars.
i recently noticed that i now have dark circles around my eyes.. boo! :(
totally agree with the mr. clean magic eraser, that thing is crazy!
Coffee works wonders. Burt's Bees Acne Spot Treatment is pretty great too!
vaseline is absolutely awesome for removing ALL makeup when makeup remover is nowhere near you.
honey is also the most awesome awesome face mask/cleanser EVER!! it makes my skin so so so so utterly soooooft~!
Olive oil and castor oil,the OCM (oil cleansing method) really works!
Tide Stain Release Pacs In-wash booster...when I first tried it, I was skeptical, but OMG, does it work! I washed a formerly white, and now very dirty, lab coat with regular laundry detergent with no results. Added the Tide pac, and it was like brand new :)
What really works? There's a lot of things but I'm gonna go with Head & Shoulders. Yeah, it's a little drying but it completely got rid of my dandruff! Not a trace left :)
I've just started using Secret Clinical Strength deodorant and it works really well. I've also been using baking soda, ammonia or vinegar for cleaning - I think baking soda can clean just about anything.
A little black dress works every time!
Lush Pied de pepper foot cream, I have been buying it for years.
love.makeup@gmail.com
Peanut butter to remove gum from fabric!
Tide to go helps get out stains and is great for when you can't throw something in the wash right away.
Rosebud Salve really works to keep my lips moist!
One thing that really works is using toothpaste for polishing silver! I use it on my silver jewelry and it works like a charm! I've even used it to polish the crystal of my old swatch watch and the results were amazing...most scratches were gone. I've also read that you can use it to polish your nails, but I haven't tried that yet...makes sense though :)
Something that really works aloe vera on burned skin!!! A friend of mine gave me a plant, and I have it in the balcony (careful they grow a lot!) and it has saved me from many nasty burns with the oven.... I'm a klutz I know!
Prescription Retin-A cream really works to even out your skintone, keep acne at bay and prevent fine lines.
I have horrible dark circles and I´m desperate to find an eye cream that works ;-(
Aquaphor works.
Blistex lip ointment works.
Samfong Hoi Tong powder really works to shine jewelry better than anything I know!
I have to say I have tried every item on that list except for the Band Aid Blister Block... and although all work wonders, as a college student who has spent most of my years in the dorms Mr. Clean Magic Erasers SAVED MY LIFE!!
Those things get rid of EVERY kind of mess imaginable and in every possible location; even the ceiling!!
Q-tips! They have so many amazing uses and are the simplest little tool. Clean out your ears, apply eyeshadow, wipe away that smudge of mascara - I could go on.
Go Q-tips!
What works for me? aloe vera for really bad sunburns. Especially when you fall asleep in the sun, oops!
